The kitties were dropped off yesterday to get spayed and neutered, and today, they’re up for adoption!
We miss them like crazy (why is no one trying to break into my office? why are there no cats on the dining room table?) but I’m really happy about how well they’ve grown up.
Hugo is just a doll. Maybe not the smartest kitty ever, but definitely one of the funniest we’ve ever had. He LOVES the bathtub, and licking watermelon bits from your fingers, and taking naps with his head resting on his arm like a pillow. You can see his profile here.
Trixie is a super sweetheart and so well behaved. She knows when she’s doing something we wouldn’t approve of, and totally backs down when we notice that she’s doing it. She loves to go outside on her harness and wander up and down our busy sidewalks, meeting dogs and neighbours, and chasing after bugs galore. She does well in crowds, and loves to snuggle. You can read her profile here.
Honey is adorable and sweet and will love you up like nobody’s business if you let her. We had a daily ritual when I’d come home – come in, take off shoes, put down bag, deposit Honey in my lap so she can purr and knead and rub her nose all over my face for half an hour. I miss her sweetness. You can read her full profile here.
Links to their online profiles at the OHS (and real-time adoption status…I am such a nerd) coming soon!
Edited to add: Adopt Hugo! Adopt Trixie! Honey already has a new home!
Things on which I would rather spend $100:
What I got to spend $100 on instead.
For the most part, downtown, I love you, with your busy streets, and people watching, and super lifestyle. But this morning I did not have anything nice to say. We can try again tomorrow.
Ah moving. My favourite time of the every-few-years. Even better than that urge we all get for spring cleaning, moving (particularly moving from a third floor apartment) means that it is time. to. get. rid. of. junk. Stat. Strangely, we are moving to a place that is bigger than our current kind-of big place, but that doesn’t mean we’re taking stuff we don’t love with us. And by this we mean books. And music.
So….my lovely internet friends…we have books for the taking! And soon, we will be doing the same thing with our ENTIRE CD collection. Every last one. Going digital has its perks – and those perks are not having to lug 400+ CDs down three flights of stairs.
For now, I give you our collection of “why do we have this?” and “I am never going to look at that again” books. If you’d like any of them, they’re free if you pick them up! And if you are absolutely desperate for a book or two but can’t pick them up in person, we can talk shipping costs. I am the queen of shipping packaging at the moment. Who needs 250 padded mailers? ME!
Visit www.mintyfresh.ca/deliciouslibrary to see the list. Leave me a comment, or send mail to robyn @ mintyfresh dot ca. What doesn’t get snapped up here gets taken to the Ottawa Public Library, so in any case, these will all go to a good home eventually.
edited to add: this list is still growing as we slowly make our way through our giant built-in wall of books and into the kitchen, where there are plenty of cookbooks waiting to see if they will survive! keep checking back
